1) THE SE ROM SLIDESHOW
In the ROM of the original Macintosh SE (*not* the SE/30!) is a four-frame slideshow composed of
digitized b&w images of the development team.
To view the slideshow, hit the interrupt switch to enter the debugger, and type the following:
G 41D89A .
Alternatively, you can write a program which calls this procedure:
PROCEDURE DoIt;
Inline $4EF9, $0041, $D89A; { jmp $41D89A }
The slideshow is an endless loop; once started, the only way to quit is by rebooting (or turning the
power off).
2) THE "STOLEN FROM APPLE COMPUTER" ICON
This icon lurks in the ROM of *every* Macintosh produced. Rumor has it that code to display
this icon also exists in ROM, so that an Apple employee/wizard could walk up to a potential
Macintosh clone, type a few commands, and verify that the machine's ROM was in fact "stolen".
This icon exists at different locations in different versions of RO |
